Lightning Strikes 10 People; 1 Dead
One man died, while nine others are injured after being struck by lightning in various parts of the tri-state area.
A man is dead and four other people are injured after a lightning strike on the beach in Sandy Hook.
National Park Service spokesman Brian Feeney says the lightning strike at about noon Sunday was on a beach where swimming isn’t allowed. That means there weren’t even lifeguards to raise the alarm as a fast-moving severe thunderstorm swept into the area.
Feeney said one man in his 40s was dead.
Five people were struck by lightning on Long Island. The group was playing soccer in Hicksville when they were caught off guard by powerful thunderstorms. The victims, all in their 20s, sought shelter under a tree.
